@no1marauder saidThere can very well be a good case against Mahmoud Khalil :
There will be a hearing on Wednesday. Unless the Government produces some evidence that Khalil did more than, perhaps, agree with some of Hamas' goals or even tactics, I think the Judge will order him released.
Trump's plans to deport "hamas sympathizers" is clearly unconstitutional as applied to those legally in the country as Khalil is and perhaps even to those who are not.
- there are allegations of incitement to commit violence
- there are claims that Khalil led activities aligned with Hamas,
- he is accused of organizing events related to support for Palestinians,
- he is on record for endorsing Hamas' attack on October 7th
I dont think it will be a cut and dried case of violating the 1st Ammendment .

Latest - on Mahoud Khalil .. a bunch of supporters demonstrating in front of Trump tower, arrested. I hope they deport them all if they are not US citizens.
Wouldn't it be a bit ironic to deport Jews for "anti-Semitic" activities?
@no1marauder saidOk .. well there are some Jews who support the Palestinian cause. Not sure they support Hamas.

Here is one who left on her own.
*******************************************
Ranjani Srinivasan, an Indian doctoral student at Columbia University, has voluntarily left the United States after her visa was revoked by the Department of State on March 5, 2025. The decision to revoke her visa came amid allegations that she had supported Hamas, the militant group responsible for attacks on Israel. Srinivasan used the CBP Home App to self-deport on March 11, 2025, following the cancellation of her visa. This incident is part of a broader crackdown on foreign students in the US, particularly those associated with pro-Palestinian protests that have taken place across American campuses in recent months.
Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem confirmed Srinivasan's self-deportation and issued a statement emphasising the US government's commitment to revoking visas for individuals suspected of supporting terrorism. "When you advocate for violence and terrorism, that privilege should be revoked," Noem stated, reflecting the Trump administration's tough stance on individuals involved in such activities.

@no1marauder saidI agree that Trump is sucking Israel's dick. It is deplorable. Unfortunately the democrats created the precedent to censor people which is exactly what I warned you about. I told you it would not stop once the democrats were out of power and Trump would abuse it too.
Not with Trump and the right wing that is. A blistering article from the Intercept:
"Columbia University could hardly have been more draconian in the last year and a half since students began speaking out against Israel’s assault on Gaza.
In early November 2023, four months before the Columbia Gaza solidarity encampment even began, the university banned its chapters ...[text shortened]... 3f9189e9f010fce
(That was real "cancel culture" not the pretend ones right wingers scream about).
I was right. Now you are crying about what you supported for 4 years just as I predicted. The Mossad probably has Trump on film doing a little girl on Epstein Island. Now he does everything Israel wants him to do.
What part of "precedent" went in your one ear and out the other? You lauded censorship when it was used against Trump and now you regret it in the form of "look, he is doing the same thing" instead of admitting I was right all along.
Admit I was right.

That has to be some kind of compulsive validation disorder.
You might want to get some help for that.
@Rajk999 saidThat is so silly. I warned no1 and others on here that Trump would abuse the right to censor if they kept promoting censorship. Now they are pretending I did not warn them.

That has to be some kind of denial of reality disorder.
They were wrong to push for censorship just because they hate what certain people say. That is meant to quell debates. That is not supposed to be in a debate forum. Suzianne is a good example. She is not here to debate, she is here to troll while avoiding debates. Now you are trolling just like her to avoid a debate.
Are you here to debate or avoid a debate by trolling ad hominem attacks?
